Personally I'm enjoying this series despite its flaws, and I love that it looks and feels like OG Star Wars. Ewan McGregor alone is worth the watch, as well as any scene involving Vader. And I have no issue whatsoever with little Leia's acting. As child actors go, I think she's pretty solid. She even looks like a mini Carrie Fisher.

I'm not sure what people were expecting from this. It's pretty much exactly what I expected. Obi Wan getting one last adventure before he goes full hermit mode for another decade. We're getting some great Vader/Obi Wan moments, and overall Vader is very true to character.
It's also such a great relief to have the toned down force powers. The force powers are supposed to be about instincts and connection to the force. Not about blowing entire ships out of the sky.
My only major problem with the series is that the inquisitors don't really seem that menacing. And now they've made it clear that they could in no way ever threaten Vader, they seem even less menacing. Where are they going with the inquisitor story line? Reva will get too big for his britches and then Vader will easily dispatch her? Who knows, maybe they'll surprise me. Otherwise, the rest is solid.
